As the principal technical leader for Server Demand Planning across Infrastructure, you own the demand side of the plan and the feasible supply requirements it drives: you forecast long- and near-term server capacity demand by rack/hardware type and region, and you build the operations-research models that match that demand to supply so we land the right servers, in the right place, at the right time.
Responsibilities
- Own the multi-horizon server/MW demand forecast long range (2-5+ years), by resource type and region, and the DC supply requirements it drives
- Aggregate and normalize demand signals from short term demand and product groups, into a single trusted statistical long term demand plan
- Formulate and solve the demand-supply matching problem using operations-research models that reconcile forecasted demand with hardware roadmaps, cooling, lead times, and power constraints to inform the Plan of Record Build across the full modeling spectrum: production-grade optimization and forecasting systems and prototype models and heuristics that answer a leadership question or unblock a decision
- Set functional standards: define the operating model, bridge short- and long-term forecasts, track accuracy and supply-matching metrics, and close forecast-to-actual gaps
- Partner with data center engineering, site selection, and hardware strategy teams to align next-generation data center designs, rack sizing, and hardware roadmaps with demand, eliminating stranded power, cooling, and space capacity
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
